It's a bug with Beta 3. Real Macs show EFI Boot instead of whatever you named your boot partition. Hopefully it will be fixed with future releases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlrycm Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I created the USB installer to update from beta 2 to beta 3 and updated OC and lilu, weg, virtualsmc and lan kexts in the USB EFI. I tried to run the installer and after the first reboot it’s being stuck at SMCSuperIO ssio: @ detected device ITE IT8620E. Does any of the colleagues know what could be wrong?

arsradu Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) If you want to upgrade from Beta 2 to Beta 3 you've got two options: 1. using the full installer 2. using the update package However, in order to see the update, you need to enable security with csr-active-config = 00000000 and reset NVRAM.

And yes, Apple changed things a little bit with Big Sur so in order to get the app in your Applications folder, you need to use the InstallAssistantPKG. Personally I downloaded it directly from Software Update. But I think gibMacOS and other similar scripts should be able to do the same thing very easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, as I said before, this is probably also a bug on Apple side. So...I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Reveal hidden contents I installed the VoodooI2C kexts -- VoodooI2C.zip I have been having problems with my trackpad in Big Sur so I thought I would try the I2C kexts to see if that would help. It didn't help my trackpad but it sure found my internal drives. Interestingly, they are detected in disk utility as external drives. Nonetheless, they are finally there. Hope this works for the rest of you. Hey @mnfesq, well done to you! Could you walk us through how you achieved that? Which specific kexts from VoodooI2C are you using? Any plug-ins inside that specific kext as well? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
